4 defensive keys for Vikings in week 7 vs. 49ers

These defensive keys for the Minnesota Vikings will be important to beat the San Francisco 49ers

Watching the Minnesota Vikings thus far has felt like one exceptionally long bad day. A day before you head to work, you spill coffee on your work shirt. You’re already running late and traffic is only going to get worse. Plus, you got that report due at noon…just an overall bad day.

And it may be getting worse.

The San Francisco 49ers come into town on Sunday and they can’t be too happy about dropping their first game to the Cleveland Browns last Sunday.

So now, Minnesota has to avoid becoming the proverbial get-right game and compete against the Super Bowl favorites on Monday at 7:15 p.m. CT.

If they want a shot at taking down Goliath, here a few stones that they can put in the slingshot on the defensive side of the football.
